UNSW Gateway Ambassadors Present to 50 Year 11 and 12 students

UNSW Ambassadors visited school last week and presented to some 50 Year 11 and 12 students, in separate sessions, as part of the Gateway Program

For the Year 11 session, student explored their passions and learning strengths and were also able to get an understanding of the Gateway Admission Pathway and leverage Program opportunities. They were supported to start planning their written personal statement as part of their application for an early offer to UNSW in 2026.

The Year 11 Gateway Program features on-campus days where you can explore a range of UNSW degrees through cross faculty experiences, academic skills workshops and opportunities to be immersed in the vibrant UNSW community. It also has online Gateway Admission Pathway information sessions and gives you access to a suite of academically enriching online resources to equip you for the HSC.

For the Year 12 session, students engaged in meaningful conversations to explore their passions, learning strengths and hopes for the future. Students learnt about the Gateway Admission Pathway and how it can support them towards their desired futures.

During the online program, students will prepare for the HSC through subject-specific exam practice and workshops led by experienced HSC teachers and markers. Students will also be supported to write their personal statement for their Gateway Admission Pathway application.

The on-campus days provide students an opportunity to explore the UNSW campus and participate in ‘day in the life of a uni student’ through connecting with current university students, societies faculties and academics.

Students are able to prepare for the HSC with personalised mentoring, subject-specific masterclasses, practice tests, and tutoring in the lead up to exams. They also receive support in applying to UNSW through the Gateway Admission Pathway.
